I made it with two boxes of Aldi Macaroni and Cheese mix, and a bag of Aldi Frozen Chicken breasts, it was great, probably would be even better with original ingredients... - 6/23/09

How big would the serving size be and if you click on the Ingredient Details button it states "1.00 chicken breast" So I used 2. But other than that, super easy to make and delicious! Also I used Kraft cheese. - 6/1/09

I believe that MacLarens is only in Canada. I have lived in both US and Canada and heave only ever seen it in Canada. It is a very sharp cold pac cheddar. It is sharper than any othercheese I have seen. tasty stuff. could be wrong about it not being in the US but I have never seen it there. - 5/31/09

I am wondering about the MacLaren Imperial cheese too. I have never heard of this. Is this a "brand" that is only available in certain areas of the country? - 3/13/09

What is MacLaren's Imperial cheese? Where would I find this (Is it in the special deli cheese area, is it a processed cheese like velveeta where I'd find in the dry foods section...? - 3/10/09
